If they’re disturbed by XXX’s that means they have been taking the genre literally this whole time. Are they thrilled by imagery of violence being inflicted on black people. Are white men living vicarious through rappers whose lyrics involve violence on black people, black women?

Disclaimer: This is post is not about chastising the art form of hip hop/rap. It’s a questions about the listeners and what they get from the art. For me I gravitate toward hip hop/rap music because it was cathartic in how it spoke about an experience that I was having with being low income, feeling geographically trapped, experiencing racism, and violence. I’m disturbed by what pulls listeners who did not have that experience to hip hop, and what that says about them.
